    • While Pulling on the suction cup, slide a thin plastic spacer (guitar picks work well) between the back cover and the phone. Slide it around the edges to break the adhesive seal. Be careful, but don't be afraid to use some force. You should hear a sticky breaking sound.

    • Pry the battery from the phone with the nylon spudger. There is a small amount of adhesive underneath the battery, so a bit of force is required. The battery is malleable, so it is possible to dent the battery if too much force is applied in one spot.

I found that I could just push it back on with the original glue and it reattached ok.

Good video thanks.

I'm currently living in Thailand and they don't fix Sonys here in Krabi so I need to do it myself. Lazada has got the lcd and back cover for me, but they don't have a battery. I have a Sony Xperia aqua m4. Will the z3 battery fit...
